The great thing about candle making is the fact that you will most likely have all the necessary equipment in your kitchen to get started. Most likely the only stuff you will need to purchase is the actual candle making supplies. For now you are going to need the following to get started with your candle making.
* Heat Source - for this of course the good old kitchen stove will do.
* Double Boiler - This is the best way of melting wax for safety and also many candle
waxes can catch on fire if their temperature exceeds 212 F. It's also good to use a
thermometer. Using a double boiler will allow the wax to melt slowly and evenly which
is key in the melting process.
* Thermometer - For this a candy thermometer is fine and they can be purchased
online or your nearest Walmart. The most important thing with the thermometer is
that it has a reading range from between 100 F and 212 F. Different waxes have
different pour temperatures and you can also create special effects by pouring at
different temperatures. So having a thermometer is a VERY important piece of
equipment.
Also you will need a few extra items such as craft scissors, scales, paring knife, baking pans,measuring cups and tape measure. These are just non essential items that will help with the process of candle making.
